The University of Newcastle is proud to lead the way in Indigenous education. We have graduated a third of the country’s Indigenous doctors and also have the largest number of Indigenous students of any Australian university. We recently celebrated the remarkable success of the Wollotuka Institute's accreditation by the World Indigenous Nations Higher Education Consortium – an Australian first.

We are organising this challenge as part of our commitment to excellence in Indigenous education, equity and social justice. Please help our trekkers raise over $100,000 to support Indigenous education, health, research and community initiatives and have a lasting impact on projects that transform lives.
